Panzanella Salad

2 c. diced day-old Italian bread
1-1/2 to 2 lbs. flavorful tomatoes, diced
4 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, finely diced
4-6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 T. extra-virgin salad oil
Salt to taste

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 300 degrees.

Arrange the diced bread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until dry and crisp, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a serving bowl and toss together. Just before serving, toss in the bread.
